LAS VEGAS, Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn Las Vegas
announces the development of Wynn Plaza, an expansive retail
complex featuring 75,518 sq. ft. of luxury retail space. Debuting
fall 2017, the uniquely designed complex will augment the existing
luxury retail collection currently showcased at Wynn Las Vegas and
Encore as well as bring the shopping experience to the high traffic
area bordering Las Vegas Blvd.
"We had 300 or more feet on the Strip right on the sidewalk in
unused real estate that was very, very valuable," said Steve Wynn, chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts.
"This represents an opportunity for future development that is
quite unique."
The design of Wynn Plaza will be influenced by European
elements, specifically the legendary Avenue Matignon in the
Right Bank of Paris, invoking a
sense of elegance and sophistication. The selection and flow
of retailers will offer visitors a unique experience with
interactive and experiential opportunities dispersed throughout the
space. Two entrances off of the Strip as well as a dedicated
valet service will make the area highly accessible to visitors and
interior entrances will offer a natural transition and seamless
flow within Wynn and Encore.
Conceived and designed by Steve
Wynn in collaboration with Architectural Digest Top 100
Designer Roger Thomas, Executive Vice President of Architecture
DeRuyter Butler, and Wynn Design and Development, Wynn Plaza will play on elements of natural
light and airiness, with two stories covered by atriums and a
skylight rotunda that is prominently showcased in the heart of the
space. An assortment of prestigious retailers will be curated to
complement the design and provide an exclusive shopping experience
for which Wynn is known.
"I have been awestruck by the Avenue Matignon since my
first glimpse when I was fifteen," said Roger Thomas, "I have always wanted to create an
experience of equal awe, delight and charm for others."
The opening of Wynn Plaza will bring the total retail square
footage to more than 173,500 sq. ft. and augment the iconic brands
that currently occupy Wynn and Encore, including Chanel,
Louis Vuitton, Dior, Hermès,
Loro Piana, Moncler, Prada,
Alexander McQueen and
Givenchy.
